Trove - capture your authentic human edge, through play

Project details match catalog

About

Trove is a daily story game where small actions turn into a self-portrait. You enter a dilemma, decide what to do, and slowly see the patterns in your actions. Over time, this becomes a longitudinal behaviour artifact of your character.

Impact

It starts off as a fun game, but the deeper goal is a new kind of self-knowledge artifact. A living portrait built through action, story, and reflection. The goal is a more authentic world, one where humans can feel seen for who they truly are.

Progress

We've hit 1,400 logged in players, with one person hitting a 14 day streak so far (we've only launched about 3 weeks ago).

Team

I bootstrapped my last company in experiential education, helping over 3000 students around the world build confidence, personal agency and community. It's been the through-line to everything I do and I'm so grateful to be able to continue!

Funding

No displayed figures preserved for this project.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
